Home Farmhouse And Rooster Hall And Attached Front Garden Walls And Gate

Home Farmhouse and Rooster Hall, along with the attached front garden walls and gate, are located on Higher Ringmore Road in Ringmore. This farmhouse, likely built in the late 16th century, features a cob construction with a thatched roof that is hipped to the left and sweeps down over the lower end to the right. It has brick stacks positioned to the left of the passage and at the rear right. The layout includes a three-unit through-passage plan with a rear lateral stack serving the central hall and a former through passage to the left of center. There is also a higher and later rear left wing with a lateral stack on the right-hand side, and former outbuildings attached to the lower end.

The exterior is two storeys high with a three-window range. It features 19th-century casement windows, with two lights on the first floor and three lights on the ground floor, all having three panes per leaf. There are also 19th-century small-paned casements and 20th-century windows at the rear. The front has two ramped buttresses.

Inside, the farmhouse includes 16th-century plank-and-muntin screens flanking the through passage and a wide planked door from the same period, complete with heavy wrought-iron hinges. The upper floors have not been inspected.

As for subsidiary features, there is a one-storey outbuilding to the right that extends to the rear, made of similar materials and now functioning as a dwelling (Rooster Hall), which has a mid to late 20th-century porch and windows at the rear. The front garden is enclosed by a low rubblestone wall topped with a 19th-century wrought-iron gate.
